Shayla Black is the New York Times and
USA Today bestselling author of more than fifty novels. For over
fifteen years, she’s written contemporary, erotic, paranormal, and
historical romances via traditional, independent, foreign, and audio
publishers. Her books have sold millions of copies and been published
in a dozen languages.

Raised an only child, Shayla occupied
herself with lots of daydreaming, much to the chagrin of her
teachers. In college, she found her love for reading and realized
that she could have a career publishing the stories spinning in her
imagination. Though she graduated with a degree in
Marketing/Advertising and embarked on a stint in corporate America to
pay the bills, her heart has always been with her characters. She’s
thrilled that she’s been living her dream as a full-time author for
the past seven years.

Shayla currently lives in North Texas
with her wonderfully supportive husband, her teenage daughter, and a
very spoiled cat. In her “free” time, she enjoys reality TV,
reading, and listening to an eclectic blend of music.
